Hybrid storage in central Germany

Green Energy 3000 is an international project developer for PV and wind power plants based in Leipzig. The Großschirma I project is its first project to combine a solar park and a battery storage system. The company is already planning further PV parks that follow a similar model and also promote the social acceptance of battery storage systems.

EDF Trading supplies the long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for the electricity generated by the solar plant. The short-term marketing and optimization of system flexibility on the electricity markets is handled by e2m, which integrates the systems into its virtual power plant.

e2m offers operators a fixed remuneration for the flexibility provided for the entire contract term of 10 years (Flexibility Purchase Agreement). The financing commitment from DAL (Deutsche Anlagen Leasing), which is experienced in PPA-based renewable energy project financing, shows that the product is particularly impressive in terms of long-term revenue stability.

"We are proud to once again be at the forefront of innovation and sustainable solutions for the transformation of the energy supply (...). The PPA with EDF Trading and e2m for the photovoltaic system combination with battery storage is an important milestone that will serve as a template for further projects of this kind thanks to the constructive work of all partners involved."
